A Great Blizzard of Thoughts...

It's really something, I don't know how to put it, but some days a poem or two will seep into my mind, & it won't leave me until I find a way to put it to paper. To look at our dining room table where I'm most comfortable working, as it is, a bit of a nook, yet centrally located with a bird's eye view, one would think... Oh there's a very cluttered mind that generates it's self from that space... I must say, that is not the case, for once I've written down the thoughts that have been mulling around, it becomes a moment. That's how it has always worked for me, for which I am truly thankful, & at peace, no matter where the process has taken me...

A Great Blizzard

Que sera sera

Doris

second Day

of

a great blizzard

now ice,

How did this

come

about

we broke

free

I

thought

from

child

hood

days,

peter pan

collars,

shoes

of

cordovan,

river

runs,

springs

channels

so deep

each

all

doing

one's own thing

among others

ectacies

joys

heartbreaks

crashing

calm,

the river

always

moving

did we know

how ever might,

not I

it washed over

focicles

of

a younger time,

what's that...

fiendships

marriages

children

the then

and now

this amber orange

custard

I now bake

e-mail speak

Why does this

current

hold,

my mind's

iminagation

from a time

I thought had

fled

is it the missing pieces,

dots ...

Are we purer

as is the river now

no longer

as, polluted

Were we

not

pure...

of a time

rushing

to the rapids

of a future

which is now

******************************************

Well we still have what appears to be freezing rain outside & this blizzard will probably go down historically as one never to be forgotten. It has hit many states across he country, & many a roof has collapsed due to it. All in all, if you're not out traveling, that's a good thing, & if you definitely need to be, be safe, & as best as possible stay out of the elements & stay warm.

So concludes today's thoughts for the Poetry A Muse In Motion Project.

The photo above is a rather rustic mosaic, inlaid with venetian glass. It was created under the supervision of a mosaic artist, when attending a workshop back in 1995 or so, at the Worcester Art Museum. The Worcester Art Museum is known for their extensive collection of mosaic art, & is well worth the trip. This funky piece of folk art, which you can barely read under the snow, spells out my favorite word, shalom. Shalom is Hebrew & it has three meanings depending how the word is used, it can mean- hello, goodbye, & peace. So very perfect for any conversation.
